Changes to buses in South Yorkshire
From Sunday 29th October buses across South Yorkshire are changing
We’ve been working closely with SYMCA (the Mayoral Combined Authority) for South Yorkshire on changes to some services following changing customer travel habits and reduced funding from SYMCA to run evening and weekend services.
For some journeys, the number of customers using them is very low and the cost of running buses has risen significantly meaning they no longer cover their costs to run.
We’ve worked hard to make improvements to services where possible with most timetables changing to improve punctuality. Where we will no longer be running evening and weekend services, another operator will be taking over ensuring communities remain connected though the timetable may be different.
Please read the list below to check if your service is affected. Click on the service names below for timetable information.
